I have read the whole book.
Yes as I have mentioned in part 1, basically it doesn’t answer my curiosity of how love between two people works. Instead it tells me the nature of love, which in itself is not romantic love at all. It is a state of being, of metta, of universal love. The feeling of wanting someone to feel happiness. He emphasizes us to have this kind of love be built upon ourselves.
His take on relationship between two people is very wise and it feels like it comes from true love: loving yourself first then you love another person. But the be honest it’s nothing I don’t already know, like respecting boundaries, lowering expectations, go easy on people, etc. But maybe for some people who do a little thinking or if you listen to relationship gurus who tells you the bare minimums for men, you should definitely read this book and rewire your brain before it’s too late.
The only thing I hoped were answered in this book was how people fall (or as he preferred, rise) in love in the first place. This one was not found in his book. Maybe if you know someone is the one, you will know, thus its absence.
